10 Cars You Can Buy With N2 Million Or Less

Most of the cars Nigerians buy are foreign used vehicles. There are very few people that buy brand new cars. This can be as a result of the economic situation in the country where the majority of the mass are struggling to keep up with the challenges of life.

Another factor that scares people away from buying brand new cars is the import duty placed on brand new cars. If you want to import your brand new car into Nigeria, you’re definitely going to pay the 7o% import duty as opposed to the 35% import duty for fairly used foreign cars. This is more reason why you hear that people smuggle cars into the country through our borders.

Let’s be more practical. Let’s assume the price of a brand new 2018 Rolls Royce Phantom is N120 Million. You have to pay 70% of this N120 Million as Import Duty. That’s extra N84 Million. This implies you pay N204 Million to get your 2018 Rolls Royce Ghost into Nigeria.

From our calculations above, you can see the reason why people smuggle in their car into the country. Had it been it’s not brand new, you’ll pay 35% which is N42 Million. This will make it N162 Million for the total cost.

NB: We used the same amount for brand new Rolls Royce and fairly used Rolls Royce Ghost for the sake of simplicity.

All that been said, an average Nigerian would buy fairly used vehicles rather than brand new.
